@jane-maree, @josiah thank you. You both answered some questions that I have been asking myself and I keep forgetting to ask my SE community. @josiah, THANK YOU 1,000 TIMES. In February I submitted my work to Christian Faith Publishing (CFP) and got accepted within a week. However, when I learned about the cost (3.5 thousand dollars) I was scared…[Read more]

@emma-starr, I manifest my J function very well. I am a meticulous planner (most of the time) and dislike procrastinating. I tend to get things done as soon as I can. I maximize my time that I do have while planning sometimes months in advance. I already have my classes for the spring lined up. Like you said, you’re extremely bubbly around your…[Read more]

@josiah, wow I didn’t think of that. I’ve been spending my time criticising the book and not realizing that I did that too (ripped off marvel a lot). For me, there is a little bit of inspiration seeing that a homeschooler wrote this and it did go big.

@sam-kowal, I must be blind!! the whole story arch is star wars! thanks for pointing that out. I do love the mental link though. (wish I could do that with my dog)

@sam-kowal, I missed that with the pony! I know the name sounded familiar but couldn’t figure it out. Also is it just me or is Braum to much like Gandalf? I feel that eragon is almost a Frodo. And you pointed out the name which is cleaver (for a rip off). It makes it hard cause I have to stop and think about how to say the name b…[Read more]

@morreafirebird, I wouldn’t blame you. I had conflicting feelings about it at first too. Honestly, it’s not that great.
@samuel, it does have A dragon as far as I have read

@kate, great thoughts. While I was impressed that the author was homeschooled, I was skeptical because I didn’t feel like there was a Christian undertone or any of that. As I am listening to it I feel that it has no real morals. Also, it feels like “just another fantasy story” to me. there is nothing to set it apart.

Inkling-for-Christ replied to the topic Eragon in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 11 months ago
@jenwriter17, not really. I’m just surfing for people who have read this book so that I can discuss it. My sister read it and loves it. I was skeptical of it and am listening to it only cause I have nothing else at the moment. To be honest it isn’t bad but there is a lot that could be worked on.

@jane-maree, @everyone, I think we need to examine this deeper. While Paolini, was homeschooled he graduated at 15 and began working on his first novel (Eragon). It was heavily promoted through his parents publishing company. That may explain how he got away with so much. Also, he was 15 when he wrote it. According to Wikipedia, he was influenced…[Read more]

@emma-starr, I wouldn’t totally recommend the series. its too close to LOTR

Inkling-for-Christ replied to the topic Eragon in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 11 months ago
@jane-maree, I agree with you. I see too many cop-offs from LOTR and I feel like there may be a little pulled off from how to train your dragons.

For you fantasy people, and anyone in general.
Has anyone heard of Eragon by Christopher Paolini? I’m reading/listening to it now and I was wondering if there is anyone knows of it.

@ariella-newheart, I’m still figuring it out. For sure I know I’m happiest when I have time alone. I love people but I can’t be out to long. I wonder if my skepticalness of people has to do with being introvert. Also, in a large group, you will usually find me kinda on theoutskirts unless I’m invited further in.
I am a Star Wars fan. (that is a…[Read more]

@r-m-archer, thanks. I stink at commas. Funny story…a few years ago, my mom threatened to pull the comma button off my computer because I kept splicing commas. So I stopped using them until the fall when I learned a little better.
